This Month I am pleased be awarded Arts Council Funding! It supports a project looking at vulnerability and anxiety and the affect of our financial system , a subject chosen to reflect my practice, which has always evolved by being affected by the here and now. My last project ended with looking at the vulnerability of ‘life’ and ‘community’, developed from my conversational works.

Much of the funding is to offer support with my writing, web design and archiving, which will enable the project to be more accessible. Having quite serious dyslexia, this support means a lot to me! Natalie Beech (writer) and Melissa Fletcher (Designer & Coordinator) are working with me to launch my new website by 10th May (in time for the show in Venice).

The project will take many twists and turns, so I will be keeping a weekly blog to show my research and the development of my work. My artwork will lead to a workshop involving the public, taking place 26th August during Leicester’s City Festival as part of a Silver Vine Arts (artist collective) event at LCB depot. 

I’m excited to be working with sculpture artist David Meredith, as well as consulting with economist Damon Gibbons to further my understanding of the current financial climate and develop further dialogue with those affected by the current financial climate.

Updates and more information coming soon!
